bad boy and the nerd| seongjoong

four

to seonghwa's response, yeosang doesn't say anything else, much to seonghwa's relief. they continue to walk, not knowing where they're heading. they walk in silence, enjoying the breeze hitting their faces.

"where are we going?" seonghwa asks as he finally realizes where they're heading.

"i don't know," yeosang giggles. "you wanna go to my house? my mom's working, so she's not home."

"um, sure," seonghwa agrees. "are you sure your mom's going to be okay with it, though?"

"she's fine with anything as long as i don't have sex," yeosang chuckles, making seonghwa let out a giggle.

"how far is your house?" 

"not far. we just have to take the bus today. do you have money?"

"i do," seonghwa assures, so the two walk toward the bus stop. once the bus arrives, they both get inside, put their money in, before sitting down. the bus starts driving, and seonghwa and yeosang continue to talk. when the bus stops again, they look up to see who arrives, and they're both surprised to see that yong-sun sits down on a seat not that far away from them.

"isn't that yong-sun?" yeosang whispers, subtly motioning toward the blonde.

"yeah," seonghwa confirms. "what is she doing here? i thought she was crazy rich."

"let me go ask her," yeosang mutters, and, before seonghwa can stop him, he's already going to yong-sun. seonghwa watches with fearful eyes as the two talk. thankfully, yong-sun doesn't seem mad and has a smile on her face as she talks with yeosang. yeosang then points to seonghwa, and the brunette can see yong-sun nod, so yeosang and yong-sun walk back toward seonghwa.

"hey," she greets, sitting down next to seonghwa, so he can be in the middle of them. "seonghwa, right?"

the male is surprised that yong-sun, a popular girl, knows his name. nevertheless, he smiles, nodding. "y-yeah. you're yong-sun, right?"

"i am," she says. "you're the owner of the locker next to mine, right?"

"y-yeah."

"if you don't mind me asking, are you dating kim hongjoong, solar?" yeosang asks.

seonghwa nor yeosang miss the way 'solar's' cheeks turn red. "o-oh, no. pfft, i wish. we're just...friends."

"your name's solar?" seonghwa says, a bit surprised.

"that's just a nickname," solar explains. "are you guys heading toward yeosang's house?"

"we are," yeosang replies. "where are you heading?"

"back to my house," solar sighs. "my driver forgot to pick me up, so i had to take the bus. i don't really mind, though. i'd rather take the bus than sit in the car with my creepy driver."

"how is he creepy?" seonghwa asks.

"he...stares at me a lot," solar hesitantly says. before any of them can say anything else, the bus stops, and solar looks up, a relieved smile on her face once she realizes this is her stop. "well, i have to leave now, guys. it was nice meeting you two."

"likewise," yeosang returns, and he and seonghwa wave at solar before she leaves. the bus soon starts moving again, and seonghwa and yeosang sit in silence once again.

"you make friends fast," seonghwa muses.

"just one of my charms," yeosang chuckles. "honestly, though, i'm a bit shy, but strangely enough, i had enough confidence to go to solar."

"proud of you, yeosang," seonghwa says, a bit jokingly.

yeosang smiles. "thanks, seonghwa."

seonghwa nods. "why did you ask solar if she was dating hongjoong?"

"out of curiosity," yeosang replies. "and because i wanted to know for you. friends have each other's backs, right?"

seonghwa nods again, a small smile on his face. "r-right."

--

two hours later, seonghwa is still at yeosang's house. the two have done their homework, fooled around a bit, and are now eating whilst watching a random show on netflix. yeosang had ordered two boxes of pepperoni and cheese pizza, so that's what they are eating right now. seonghwa opens the box to grab another slice when his phone starts ringing. he smiles apologetically at yeosang, before grabbing his phone to check the caller id: yunho, calling him by facetime.

"hey, yunho," he greets once he answers the call, yunho's face appearing on the screen.

"hey, hyung," he returns. "yah, jeong suyeon come back here."

"is she giving you trouble again?" seonghwa chuckles.

"yeah," yunho sighs, but his baby sister appears on the screen. "suyeon, you remember seonghwa, right?"

"ha!" suyeon says excitedly once she recognizes the brunette.

"hi, su," he coos. "have you been creating trouble for your brother?"

"no..." suyeon pouts.

"be nice, okay?" seonghwa says, and suyeon nods. "oh, i'm sorry. yunho, this is yeosang-"

"yeosang?" yunho sounds a bit surprised. "you two met already?"

"hi, yunho," yeosang says, waving at him.

"hey, yeosang," he returns, a small smile on his face, but seonghwa can tell it's fake. yunho's face then disappears from the screen, so seonghwa goes to his home screen. yeosang is grabbing another slice of pizza, and that's when yunho texts seonghwa, even though they're facetiming right now.

yunho:
hyung you have to get out of there

seonghwa:
why?

yunho:
i've met yeosang before & he is bad news

yunho:
get out of there right now

seonghwa:
ok

yunho:
meet me at my house & i'll explain everything

seonghwa:
ok

seonghwa turns off his phone, and he warily glances at yeosang. the male seems a bit too interested in the netflix show to notice anything, so seonghwa goes to his settings, and presses his ringtone, so it can ring. he fakes answering the phone and presses it against his ear.

"hey, mom," he greets. seonghwa waits for a while, before he says, "oh, okay. i'll be there as soon as i can." another few seconds. "okay, bye."

"you have to leave?" yeosang guesses.

"yeah, sorry," seonghwa says, grabbing his bag. "we'll see each other tomorrow?"

"okay," yeosang says, and seonghwa gives him a small smile, before leaving his house.

yunho is always right about his assumptions, but seonghwa hopes he's wrong about yeosang.
